I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER prove anything to the likes of you or any of your cohorts.

Do let that stop you from actually posting a reference link to any HISTORICAL FACTS you wish to present as evidence, contrary to the opinion of one we do read anything you post a link to.

"LAWYERS work for ALL SORTS of clients for $$$$$$$$$."

Except your 'good friend' seeks out the Klan and neo-Nazis sometimes pro bono. You can not worm your way out of the reality of the close ties you have with the Kirk Lyons, defender of unAmerican hate groups, no matter who much verbal rubbish you throw out.

You people are unbelievable. You have no mind of your own so you must play the game started by the leader of the pack of wolves. Growing up seems to be in order...

well "mac", since you aren't able to read/UNDERSTAND Army Regulations & tell the forum-members ACCURATELY what IS/IS NOT "authorized for wear" on a military uniform

What's the point? According to you, there are no real rules. As you said up the thread, trying to explain why you weren't wearing the "retired" insignia on your uniform (at a political event):

"Army Regulations" are for the GUIDANCE of the COMMANDER & STAFF. they did NOT come down from "the mountain, graven in stone".

Lol, I noticed that also. In addition retired military are not authorized to wear their uniforms at events deemed political. The Freeper Inaugural Ball could be construed that way, but (imo) is an acceptable venue since the primary function was celebratory in nature. You'll also notice that STAND does not state he wasn't wearing any insignia identifying him as retired military, only that the US Army Retired shoulder sleeve insignia is not the proper identifying insignia for dress blue uniforms.

Anyhow I'll happily concede the point if only Darla Ruth discloses who the leader of the Unionist wolf pack is...

Like many rebs over the years, I'm afraid this Confederate-fan prefers to keep her head in the sand when presented with unpleasant FACTS.

Ma'am, you are free to ignore me and I'm free to post to you the words of the Confederates themselves of the 1860s. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the quote from Miss Inman's diary. Here's an entry from March 3, 1864 that you might approve of more:

"...there is something repulsive in a Yankee's look. Not like the bold candor, handsome and brave heart of Southern heroes."

The Bold Candor of a Southern Hero-A Southerner in the Union Army

actually,that's a southern TURNCOAT, in the uniform of the ENEMY!

MANY of those men fought WELL & HONORABLY in a POOR cause.they fought AGAINST liberty & for DESPOTISM.

PITY that you haven't figured that out.

Wow. Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower. So former slaves who took arms against the south were turncoats?

Servile much?

Are Black people whose ancestors were slaves in the south, TRUE southerners?

YES. being a TRUE southerner has NOTHING to do with skin-tone. it has to do with HONOR & DEVOTION to one's own family, count/parish & STATE.

the CSA's OVER 100,000 BLACK VOLUNTEERS, 30-40,000 AmerIndians, @1500 Asians & many Latinos "put the lie to" the SILLY idea that dixie LIBERTY was a "white man's cause" early in 1861, when they came in DROVES & fought with GREAT bravery to help FREE dixie from the invaders.

otoh, being a SCALAWAG & turncoat relieves any southerner of being polite & "nice" in dealing with you.

A black man who took up arms against the Confederacy was fighting FOR Liberty and AGAINST despotism. Even your more rabid neo-secessionists would concede this point. Your extremism is showing again STAND.

the FACT that many Black men fought BRAVELY for the north does NOT mean they were on the side of LIBERTY.

especially given how BADLY that MANY THOUSANDS of other Blacks, both slave & free, were treated by the INVADERS!

instead of "freeing them from slavery", all too many slaves were freed from being ALIVE, by the "filth that flowed down from the north".
